Swift Blossoms(private for Middy)

Blossompaw gave a small stretch as she woke early that morning. Patrols had already been picked and sent out. She stretched wanting to see if her mentor/father figure would want to hang out if he wasn't busy. After finishing anything needed to be a warrior she was only waiting patiently for her ceremony. She felt at home even more so since she was taken in as a kit. She'll never forget her real parents but she was grateful to Swiftstep whom took her in. He was like a father to her. Smiling she looked about for him.

The deputy exited the elder's den after having brought them some lunch. His amber gaze twinkled with contentment as he made his way over to the camp's clearing. His paws began heading a different direction when he noticed his apprentice, Blossompaw, searching for somebody or something. He decided to ask, curiosity slightly peaked. "Blossompaw! What or who are you looking for darlin'?" His signature grin accompanied his cheery tone of voice.

Blossompaw had been looking around that she hadn't bothered to look behind her. She jumped though as she heard the voice and made her fur lay flat and smiled as she turned to look at her mentor and father figure"Well...I was looking for you da...Swiftstep"She mewed smiling some correcting herself she had wanted to say dad but knew he wasn't her father and wasn't sure how he would react to something like that

The tom purred as she said he was the one she searched for. The tom didn't ask about what she almost said as to not pressure her. He walked forward and pressed his shoulder to hers. "So, what did ya need me for darlin'?" he asked with a gentle gaze. His grin never left his face.

Blossompaw relaxed some smiling a little"Well I was wondering if maybe we could hang out....I...um only ask because you are like family to me....I..see you as my father sort of"She mewed her paws shuffled nervously.

OOC: I'm super sorry for having not posted here in a while! I had forgotten it was my turn! ;-;

IC: Swiftstep's face brightened and he let out a warm purr. "Well darlin'! We can hang out all you want! You're like a daughter to me so I'd love to put some time aside for you! Have you eaten yet? If not then we can chat while having a meal." The larger cat scoot closer to his apprentice and pressed his shoulder to hers. His amber gaze held a pleasant kindness as he waited for Blossompaw's response.

Blossompaw blinked and smiled some at his statement that she was like a daughter to him."your like a father to me"She mewed smiling some "i haven't eaten just yet"She mewed smiling some her tail flicked happily

"Well then! Let's go grab a meal shall we?" meowed the tom as he beckoned the apprentice to follow him to the fresh kill pile.

Once they arrived, Swiftstep scanned the available prey and settled on a bird. The deputy silently wondered who caught it as he grabbed it with his maw. He signaled for Blossompaw to choose a prey after sitting not too far away from the pile. It was times like these that he enjoyed the most. Nothing like some good quality time with family.
